Review: Superhot Mind Control Delete (PlayStation 4)

MIND CONTROL DELETE is the first person shooter where time m░ves only w▒en you move. No regenerati░g he▀lth bars. No conv▒nie▄tly pla▒ed am▄o dr▄p█▒■ YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE. YOU HAVE ALREADY WON.

Pros:

• Decent graphics.
• 2.37gb Download size.
• Platinum trophy.
• Graphics-v-sync on/off.
• Invert axis and sensitivity slider.
• Menus laid out in a file directory format.
• Opening simulation to show off the controls and how the game works.
• Gimmick-time moves when you move.
• Can grab falling weapons/items and use them.
• Puzzle elements as you strategize the best route and order of attack.
• Levels are broken down into chunks.
• Easy to learn.
• After each level chunk, you can watch a replay complete with ff/rewind and pause function.
• Save and share replays with Twitter and YouTube.
• You have 3 hearts that are your life bar and losing all 3 is game over.
• Satisfying combat.
• You get a map after a handful of levels to choose where you want to go.
• Cache-on the map go to this location for a random hack (ability/buff) and then see it in action.
• Hacks-after doing so many levels you get to pick one of two hacks and these could be things like heal, more ammo or get a weapon, etc.
• Cores-you find these and then must finish the level to have it in the cores pool. Before each new level, you pick from your cores pool.
• Can create some awesome replays.
• Play how you want in terms of how to finish the level.
• Many guns and weapons to use including folder, stools, books, and toys!
• Each level is based as a run, if you die you lose all progress at that level and start again from the beginning.

Cons:

• Doesn’t do much in terms of explanation.
• Constant stop-start level transitions.
• Overall learning curve but more a thing if this is your first time with Superhot.
• Difficulty spikes.
• The learning curve with using guns and knowing how close to an item you need to be in order to pick it up.
• Replay angles can be bad and not show anything.
• Level layouts repeat often.
